Have you ever been the new kid? You may have been nervous about fitting in and finding friends, but you encountered that one person who helped you learn the ropes in the new environment. Imagine the faith of Ruth as she set out on the journey with her mother-in-law to a new environment where she was going to be the “new kid.” Her mother-in-law, Naomi tried to send her back to her own family, but she wanted to go on to Bethlehem. Little did she know that this journey would bring salvation for the world!
